Please help - Songs

I know this forum has been circulated back and forth but I really need some help on this...To make a story short: My father died when I was young and my Brother took over that spot. He was there for me through good and bad and made sure I am who I am today. I'm trying to choose a song that could somewhat symbolize how much I appreciate and love him much. I'm stuck. Please if any of you ladies did this, please share...

Thanks a million..

I really love this song and have it in the running for my Fh's dance with whomever he chooses in place of his mommy who passed away.

TAYLOR HICKS LYRICS

Do I Make You Proud


[Verse 1:]
I've never been
The one to raise my hand
That was not me
And now that's who I am
Because of you
I am standing tall
My heart is full
Of endless gratitude
You were the one
The one to guide me through
Now I can see
And I believe
It's only just beginning

[Chorus:]
This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been now
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud

[Verse 2:]
I guess I've learned
To question is to grow,
That you still have faith,
Is all I need to know,
I've learned to love,
My selfish part of me,
And I've learned to
Walk on the road I believe.

Everybody needs to rise up
Everybody needs to be loved
To be loved
Everybody need to rise on
Everybody needs to be loved, to be loved

[Chorus:]
This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you, do I make you proud
This is what we dream about
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud
Do I make you proud

Bette Midler- Wind Beneath My wings
Ceilne Dion- Because You Loved Me

I did narrow it down to some songs..what do you ladies think?

The Way you look tonight - Elton John
I turn to you - Christina Aguilera
I hope you dance - Leann Wormack (is this more for Mother)
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole/Natalie Cole

Thanks again...

This is so nice...Thanks alot

I am dancing to Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel with my dad - he has helped through I lot of troubled time. If you don't know it, definitely listen to it - I think it's beautiful!

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

my vote is for : I turn to you - Christina Aguilera.
Love this song and I think it would fit for you and your brother. Good luck

This is so nice...Thanks alot

You're welcome. I just really love it, because I think it fits both sides. It fits the person who's been there for you, and then you wonder are you making the person that has passed proud. Of course you know you are, but ya know what I mean??

My friend just got married and danced with her brother to:

When The Stars Go Blue - Tim McGraw

What a beautiful song it was. Here are the Lyrics:

Dancin' when the stars go blue
Dancin' when the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' with the marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue

Laughin' with your pretty mouth
Laughin' with your broken eyes
Laughin' with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue

'Thankyou for Loving Me' by Bon Jovi is awesome...
'Have I Told You Lately that I love you' is a good one too.

Laughin' with your pretty mouth

I'll follow you
When the stars go blue

stars go blue
stars go blue

I totally know what you mean...I know my daddy is looking down on me and saying he is proud of me (hope he is) cause I wasn't always an angel.. ...Now it's between Taylor Hicks and the song from Christina Aguilera...hmmmm...

You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban) is one of the songs I am considering for my Brother-Sister dance (My Dad passed away 3 years ago).

why don't you give a copy of each to your brother and have him tell the dj and make a surprise for you on the day of (this has become my solution to everything)

This is not a bad idea but knowing my brother, he'll end up having me to choose...let's see..I'll ask him which 2 songs and have him choose instead...
